Bubble Approaching

179 places will get paid which leaves the field just three broken tables from being hand for hand. With such a large field, the money bubble usually comes and goes fairly quickly but for now play will slow down just a touch. The bigger stacks will use this opportunity to pressure players and short stacks will have to make some tough decisions with a payout on the line.

There is a break coming up in 25 minutes which will give a chance to see who has emerged as the chip-leaders through two hours of play.
